Solve the equation 5sinx=4cosx

This is an homogenous equation and we'll create the
tangent function to solve
it


5sinx=4cosx


We'll divide by
5:


sin x = ( 4/5) cos x


Now,
we'll create the tangent function by dividing both sides by cos
x:


sinx/cosx = 4/5


tan x=
4/5


We've get an elementary
equation:


x = arctan (4/5) +
k*pi
